@BATTLEAXE - ripper videos - nailed it!
I use tabs, cheaper than magnetsMagnets are magic on hatches huh, really they are flawless. I like the shear release as well. Do you index the front of the hatch with tabs or more magnets?
I mounted the cam on a stand up desk lamp kickin around the house, it works great for the vids. Kinda surprised me once I watched the first vid.Great work @BATTLEAXE! Have you thought about upping your production quality with some more lighting? I can't seem to get enough light in my workshop, and you can get some pretty cheap lighting units on Amazon. It'll help us see what you're doing better, and make building easier to boot!
The first time I bought magnets was from Michael's, and they were pricey, $13 for 6 magnets. Next time I am goin to try to find one of those Knicky Knack stores in the mall that sell heads and gems for crafty stuff, you know they have like pictures and cheap African masks and other crap the ladies like to decorate the house with. They usually have trays of these heads and stones, and they usually have earth magnets for cheap. You can get them on Amazon for 100 for like $8.I use tabs, cheaper than magnets

Thats actually where i first did the indexing doublers was on my Spit. Worked awesome there. Just wish i did a top hatch for batt changes, wouldnt have to unplug the throttle wire from the Rx.I am going to adapt the power pod ideas into finishing my second Spitfire!![]()
What! You get to fly, better be some vids my friend. The anticipation has been killing methe wing is glued in already - I made a top hole for access and thought I would make the hatch removable - actually I have some magnets tucked away so why not go for the trifecta - power pod mods, magnets and some ironing!
I need to calm down and make the second spit simple as 'someone' has challenged me to fly it next week!
You've got a knack for this, no lie. Another great tip, well thought out and executed. You've got yourself a useful YouTube channel!Power Pod Index Doublers
Here are some pics for reference if needed. It may not be clear from the vids

Thanks for reading
Magnets are free. You get them from worn out and burned up brushless motors. At this rate I'll have a limitless supply.cheaper than magnets
LOL, forgot about that but I've managed to fix most of my motors. Bent shaft, wrecked bearings, managed to source parts somewhere. I let the smoke out of one but it was so small it wasn't worth fixing, chucked it. Magnets would have been too small in that. Def keep it in mind.Magnets are free.
